Scientific work

Bernadette Charleux first worked on emulsion polymerization, which led to the creation of new materials : functional latexes, amphiphilic copolymers, etc. before turning to pioneering research on Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization in aqueous media. More recently, she has worked on the creation of nano-objects via the self-assembly of macromolecules.{{cite journal
